The six midfielders Liverpool are ‘considering’ signing ranked from worst to best
Despite missing out on some major targets, Liverpool still have plenty of options on the cards
It’s been a pretty rough week for Liverpool on the transfer market, with Jurgen Klopp’s side beaten to a number of potential signings, with both Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia choosing to join Chelsea over them.
Having signed just two players throughout the summer, the club are keen to continue adding to the squad, and it won’t have been easy to see the Blues pip them to not just one, but two players, especially considering how poor Chelsea have been over the last 12 months.
The recent news hasn’t slowed the Reds down, though, and the club are now looking at a handful of different options to bolster the middle of the park and fire them back into the Champions League. A Daily Mail report has identified six midfield targets that are currently on Liverpool’s radar, so let’s take a look at them and rank them from worst to best.
With an eye on the future, Liverpool have identified 22-year-old Andre as a potential target, with the Brazilian impressing for Fluminese this season.
Having recently earned his first call-up for the Brazil national team, he seems primed to take that next step and make a move to one of Europe’s top five leagues sooner rather than later.
Technically impressive on the ball and known for his passing range, Andre would sit just in front of the back four and help strengthen the Reds’ midfield. His availability is also a major bonus, having played 60 times in 2022, something Liverpool will cherish considering some of the injury issues they’ve struggled with recently.
With that being said, having never played outside of Brazil, a move for Andre provides significant risk as there’s no telling how he’d adapt to English football.
A long-time target for Klopp, it seems Liverpool have been chasing Khephren Thuram all summer, and he’s still firmly on their radar. The OGC Nice midfielder has been a standout for the French team over the last three seasons and has caught the attention of numerous teams, including the Merseyside club.
Thuram’s versatility in the middle of the park, and his ability to play as either a defensive midfielder, or as an eight would make him an incredibly useful addition to the squad and round out a midfield three alongside Dominik Szboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister quite nicely. Factor in his knack for effective pressing and the pair seem like quite a match
